Trump is bad.

Billions and Congress says NOTHING

FBI KA$H DISPATCHES SQUADRONS OF AGENTS TO FALSIFY GEORGIA ELECTION RESULTS; AN ACTUAL WIN WOULD NOT MATTER IN BIDEN 306-232 ROUT

Agreed, and I also learned years ago never to share a potato salad recipe on social media, people get really mad about potato salad

This is especially true if a man is built like a threatened anteater. Miller has relatively narrow shoulders and wide hips, which means there's not much shape through the torso.

I should first emphasize this thread is not meant to body shame. I mean that sincerely. Few men are built like Adonis, so when shopping for clothes, most will have their own fit challenges, including muscular figures. This thread is only meant to highlight a tailoring issue.

Important thread

You would hope all those hours cooking in the Simpsons writing room, Brooks would consider that cut an additional hurrah, even battling the Prince estate

Reminder: This exact and only strategy to collapse Russia by destroying oil refineries was blocked by Biden, even accusing Ukraine of "war crimes" for striking Russian oil infrastructure. Biden, Burns, Sullivan, Blinken et al bear responsibility for thousands of Ukrainian deaths.

It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

NEW: The Supreme Court won't block a civil contempt order against the journalist Catherine Herridge for refusing to identify the source of a leak. Only Kavanaugh notes his dissent. Herridge will be fined $800 a day until she complies.

I wish this was an isolated example this week but it’s not. The vitriol that Barrett is receiving from the right is insane even by their standards.

A dynamic on the right that is completely absent on the left re: courts is constant, stricter ideological purity tests for SCOTUS justices. Souter broke legal conservatives’ brains about this stuff 30 years ago.

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks DOJ from requesting or receiving patient information about those who have received gender-affirming medical care as minors at Packard Children's Hospital (Stanford). The is the second order blocking these grand jury subpoenas: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-trans-...

"Donald Trump has been adjudicated, finally and forever, as a man who sexually abused E. Jean Carroll and then lied about it for years. And he’s about to have to pay for it."

Today we beat Stephen Miller’s lawsuit mill in court! For 3 years I’ve been a defendant in a case filed by America First Legal on behalf of Gateway Pundit & a random antivaxxer we’d never heard of until she sued us. The plaintiffs claimed we “censored” them. It was a lie. They just lost.

NEW: Former Olympic canoeist David Hearn — arrested at the reflecting pool last month — has been indicted in D.C. Superior Court on a destruction of property charge. A warrant has been issued. Jeanine Pirro is set to give a press conference shortly.

REPORT: MCCONNELL HEART ATTACK BEFORE CPR AND COMA

An attendee at the Great American State Fair says none of the booths had air conditioning so she had to go to the baptism pool in one of the tents

It’s just so funny when the main thing that has won over people skeptical of mamdani isn’t any particular policy it’s just that he likes it here

Tfw you fucking hate the city you represent (the tweet is about Mamdani giving the speech from a desk that belonged to Washington

On Oct 1, 1968, antiwar activists Abbie Hoffman was arrested in Washington DC for wearing a T-shirt resembling the American flag. #History #Skystorians

New from 404 Media: we've got leaks from Amazon, GitHub, Adobe, Citi, and more. The big takeaway is that companies in all industries are suddenly throttling their employees' AI use because AI is actually too expensive. Cutting off access to some models entirely www.404media.co/companies-ar...

THE ONE ABOUT MATTY AND “THE TOSSED SALAD CONCEPT”

Sir Keir bows

Exceptional...for the not great reasons.

While 764,000 people lost money on the Trump meme coin, only 58 wallets got rich. Supporters need to see the corruption in how Trump robs his own while Republicans cheer it on. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

A US Air Force major was arrested on the steps of the US Capitol after delivering a speech calling for the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. https://cnn.it/3SYdUqt

This is important — “Kind of a miracle solution: How Paris is harnessing the Seine to replace air-conditioning. City plans to triple system of underground pipes that distribute chilled river water, reducing need for individual cooling units.” One of the world’s largest district cooling networks.

How about showing those grand jury transcripts to see how they even got an indictment for this

Getting scared and prepared 🤷‍♂️ Russian military experts conducted a command-staff exercise modeling a possible Ukrainian landing operation in occupied Crimea, The Insider reports. The simulated Ukrainian side used drones, long-range precision weapons, reconnaissance systems, and fast boats. #Crimea

Jesus Christ. The Grand Jury has indicted David Hearne on felony charges for touching the reflecting pool.

The community note is just perfect.

Kennedy Center $25,000 rooftop tickets to watch the July 4 midnight detonations

I wrote about the sad Trump Country Fair thing and the very specific and hilariously shitty vision of America that it expresses. The war on metaphor continues apace. defector.com/dead-country...

You’ve probably heard of a plan to have the post office refuse to mail ballots in states that won’t turn over voter records. There was a time when I would have dismissed this with “they can’t do that.” But now I need to call the Governor’s ofice in my state to discuss it. “They” will do anything.

People are presenting Trump’s State Fair in a negative light, but in fact this is the most successful and triumphant moment of “Get off my lawn!” in human history.

Won’t link, but it exists.

My latest on the leaked documents obtained by Bloomberg showing how Russia is trying to manipulate the information AI systems rely on.

This is what a massive line at a Russian gas station looks like from above.

"“Communion,” far more than “Hillbilly Elegy,” is the work of an inveterate opportunist, one who appears torn between the urge to camouflage his careerism—Vance’s true religion—and an equally strong desire to be admired for how well and how profitably he plays the game."

What's he investigating? Why halal foods taste so good?

Mall Capacity: 150,000 people. Hydration Stations: 4

here's a pic of the Iowa State Fair from a few years ago that I found online and am posting randomly for no real reason

HYDRATION ADVICE from an archaeologist who works in intense heat: 1) Water isn't enough. You need electrolytes. Use liquid IV/ gatorade, premake a jug. 2) Set up phone reminders every 2-3 hours to drink 8oz, more if outside 3) Wake up and DRINK and have a glass before bed. You'll sleep better

Authorities are imposing a limit of “one bottle of water per person” for attendees on the DC Mall. This is on July 4, when the temp will exceed 100 degrees. Checkpoints open at 1 pm. Fireworks don’t start til after 1030 pm. Good luck to our EMS friends. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
